rfusca Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Had some leftover GS from sealing cracks and my color shapers came in today so I took a stab at a Bmpc from @TaleSpinner tutorial. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rfusca Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 Going to lay some patches down to blend in a few areas and then do the lips. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfusca Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 OK we are going to call it done. Considering this is the first time I've ever touched green stuff, I consider it a success. Learned a lot! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator TaleSpinner Posted January 8, 2018 Moderator Share Posted January 8, 2018 I'm impressed that you got all your blends so smooth. Beginners usually struggle with that. Well done. OK, so here is the part where I challenge you a bit, and hopefully give you one more technique. Typically, I sculpt out a figure to within 1-2 mm of finished size, then add the final layer as a sheet of 1mm gs. In this then I add all the fine surface details. So, think about doing this just to the surface of the lips, to add the fine lines and details one normally sees in lips and to sharpen up the edges of the lips a bit. Start by rolling out a thin sheet of GS. Cut out shapes roughly the shape of what you want to cover. Adhere it in place pressing from inside out to ensure there are no bubbles. Seal the edges/blend them into the existing detail. Lightly enscribe the fine details. Well done! Andy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfusca Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 Thanks! I actually added some lines on the lips, didn't like it and smoothed it out. I may try again but with a reference pic this time. I've also considered adding a tongue or a couple of big teeth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives a cracked lips effect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
